Tribune editorial made good points
Placeholder Image

Dear editor,
I want to congratulate you on your column-viewpoints “A prayer for tolerance” in today’s Tribune. You had so many excellent points. I do think your statement about pitchforks and torches, made in jest, was a little strong, but readers got your point.
Your paragraph, “When the dust settles ...” was just awesome and so true. No matter which side one is on or not on a side were such good words.
Now that the council member has resigned who opposed the chief, the count is four for the chief and three against; it is time to move forward, get the chief back to work. Instead of not showing up even when they do not have the votes anymore, is rather juvenile.
I want to congratulate the Tribune for being neutral and only printing the facts. This is why we subscribe to the Tribune, you are always fair.

scales of justice
Sometimes, when law enforcement agencies announce someone has been arrested or charged with a crime, they mention that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle places the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s an important reminder because sometimes a person is arrested but never formally charged or a different charge than originally reported is filed. Other times, the case goes to court and the person is found not guilty. Still other times, the charges are filed but the case never goes to court because the case is dropped.
